@merc81 I agree that getting a consensus on the subtopic would be helpful, but I think your language choices in your posts also create the same offensiveness and combativeness too with implying that helpful posts are doing the OP a disservice, as well as even calling them a “distraction”. That’s not a way to generate a discussion and consensus on the subtopic.
I really do want to sort this out, because personally, I feel that your line of reasoning is what’s doing the disservice to the subtopic. It’s frankly a bit insulting to the topic of CS to imply that list has any relevance, which no matter how you introduce it, creates that implication that many take issue with.
This is becoming much too long of a tangent, so I’m typing up a private message and really do want to see this come to consensus 
Hopefully the tangent was useful for the OP in addition to the prior actually relevant posts.
